Interesting fact
The 3 Sols coin from the City of Geneva, made of Billon and weighing 1.92g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the City of Geneva, which was a independent republic at the time. The coin was minted during this period of upheaval, and its design and production were likely influenced by the political and economic changes that were taking place.
